So if you haven’t realised, Black Satan are from a past series. Namely, they’re the antagonists for the first half of Kamen Rider Stronger (which has all but been confirmed to be Sakamoto’s favourite, given how he gave Stronger’s shemp a prominent role in Megamax and the climax of the first Ultra Galaxy Fight is an admitted homage to Stronger’s finale), with the Electro-wave Human being an evil version of Tackle and Miss Titan being a gender flip of their iconic member, Mr. Titan (that was his real name)

In terms of guest stars, Yuriko, the woman claiming to be Hana’s birth sister, is played by an actress known as Ayane, who was previously the Ill-fated Micott in Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga. The fact the character has the same given name (Yuriko) as Tackle should tell you where this is going.

As for the special itself… all I’ll talk about for now is the theme song, Riot in Bloom. It’s probably one of the best parts of the special.

Bloom for you! Riot in bloom!

Tie it tight! Want to love!
You and I! Family ties!
Tie it tight! Value of my existence
Hate lies! I give it later!

I don’t match with anyone. I’m a thorny, innocent, lonely girl
(Tie it tight! Want to love!
You and I! Family ties!)
In my grasp but just out of reach. Every day no answers. Let me down!
(Tie it tight! Value of my existence!
Hate lies! I give it later!)
In this superficially vivid broken world
I can’t forget that glimpse of a shining blossom
I looked up and saw the Sakura in the sky

(You give me love, I give it later)

That’s why I’ll stay who I am. I can’t stop believing
I’m strongly drawn to you with your roots in the ground
I know I have no wings to keep me living, but still
I’ve decided to care for the little flower that’s blooming
The flower petals wafting down have taught me about warmth
A new me is blooming. Riot in bloom!

We girls… don’t underestimate us
Do not order me around
We girls… cannot be broken
We get ties like sisters

A lonely girl who’s lost her reason to live and place to belong
(We girls… don’t underestimate us
Do not order me around)
Understanding everything is impossible, but a tough girl tried anyway for me
(We girls… cannot be broken
We get ties like sisters)
I try to push you away by saying I don’t need you and I hate you
Before I know it, the blossom by my side is laughing with me
I looked up and saw the Sakura in the sky

(You give me love, I give it later)

That’s right! I will stay who I am. I can’t stop believing
I’m strongly drawn to your shining, beautiful, gallant form
I know I will keep living just as that Lily will never wilt
My blooming flower doesn’t need anyone else’s colours
Since I know the warmth and gentleness of the light…
I will bloom vividly. Riot in bloom!

For sure! We won’t cry. My way!
How are you? The best! Feeling so good
Muy bien! This is no fleeting thing
Up or down we’re fine. We’re really so cool
We’re already family! Always buddies
Smile style! Ring a gong!

Our hearts are connected even without a contract. The flower blooms

(You give me love, I give it later)

That’s right! I will stay who I am. I can’t stop believing
I’m strongly drawn to you with your roots in the ground
I know I have no wings to keep me living, but still
I’ve decided to care for the little flower that’s blooming
The flower petals wafting down have taught me about warmth
A new me is blooming. Riot in bloom!

Gracias!
